[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 739079, member: 18958"] Overcome mom, hi. I was reading your post today on another thread and came back here to recall your story. Because I was feeling a strong similarity to you. Which it seems I already told you. Today it seems to be that there are several of us posting right now--as if we are describing the same adult son...and as if we are the same suffering mother. Defending our homes and trying to find the heart to defend our fragile and vulnerable selves. We so easily find compassion for our sons but not for ourselves. We suffer, yes. But acknowledge and remediate this--after such a toll has been taken. After so many years. So many tears . So much suffering. We need to STOP. Walk this back. Make as much distance as it takes to lick our wounds and recoup. This is ENOUGH. We are not prey. To be mothers must not require that we allow ourselves to be consumed. I hear your suffering. And it is ENOUGH. No more. [/QUOTE]
